Subject: RE: BS: Darwin's Witnesses
Well, I come here after 24 hours away, expecting to see some light (kidding of course, though, Musket, your comment about your carrots and my ass look like Einstein's PhD thesis alongside any of Wacko's or Gastropodus insensibilissimus's crass and sour-faced inanities).

Now here's the thing, you pair of tossers. Evolution happens (only dimwits such as pete with his third-hand received unwisdom would demur). It is a phenomenon that definitely occurs and only an imbecile would deny it. Therefore evolution is true. But, you see, a phenomenon that self-evidently occurs is not science. My left hand self-evidently possesses five digits. It is not science to say that my left hand has five digits. It is not science to say that the bleedin' obvious occurs. The science comes in, not when you observe phenomena that are true, but in the explanation of those phenomena. Evolution is true. The explanation of evolution is one of the grandest theories ever achieved by mankind, but no scientist would say that the explanation of evolution is true. The explanation of evolution, and of any phenomena you care to name, is a quest for truth. Scientists revel in the fact that the quest is never-ending. It's delicious, actually. Now I think I've given our resident pair of half-wits far too much time on this already (I'm that kind of guy: all-giving, innit). So further correspondence on this matter will receive short shrift. I'm fed up of being so bloody polite, actually.
